Honkai Summoning.

Chapter 557 Father's Love is as Solid as a Mountain

"You are--"

Before the pink-haired girl, referred to as Louise, could finish speaking, she saw Su Mo's disappointed head-shaking gesture and immediately became like a cat with its fur standing on end, "What do you mean by shaking your head like that!"

“You understand,” Su Mo said meaningfully.

"..."

"puff!"

A loud burst of laughter immediately erupted from the surrounding area.

Louise glared at Su Mo, then strode over to the bald, Mediterranean-looking teacher beside her and said, "Teacher Gruber, I request to be summoned again."

“That won’t do,” the Mediterranean man said with a serious expression. “This is a solemn ceremony that accompanies one throughout their life.”

“But have you ever seen anyone whose familiar is a commoner?” Louise argued logically, stating that she was unwilling to have a commoner become her familiar.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the commoner actually looked down on her—breasts! This is absolutely intolerable!

"Hahaha." Before the Mediterranean teacher could answer Louise's question, the others laughed again, especially a woman in red who was the most exaggerated. Moreover, the size of her chest was also quite exaggerated, completely different from Louise's.

The Mediterranean teacher there explained the importance of the familiar summoning ritual to Louise very seriously, and said that Louise could not summon it again. If she did not acknowledge Su Mo as her familiar, she would most likely be expelled from the magic academy.

There's no other way.

Louise could only turn around fiercely and walk towards Su Mo. With her small face raised, she said proudly but lacking confidence, "Be glad, commoner. To have a noble do such a thing for you is an honor you will never experience in your entire life."

"Oh?" Su Mo looked at the flat-chested girl with interest.

This time, he was summoned, but he didn't sign a contract immediately. Instead, according to traditional rituals, he was to sign a contract with Louise before him and become her familiar.

Louise walked up to Su Mo, tilted her head up, and realized that there seemed to be a significant height difference between herself and Su Mo. No matter how hard she tried to stand on tiptoe, she couldn't reach his face—which didn't look like that of an ordinary person at all.

"Hey!"

Louise shouted fiercely at Su Mo.

Su Mo lowered his head slightly, looking at the pink-haired girl, a slightly malicious smile hidden in his eyes.

Louise, who had been standing on tiptoe, felt a sudden panic when Su Mo's gaze swept over her. Instead of feeling flustered, her legs went weak, and she involuntarily fell towards Su Mo.

Louise's head slammed into Su Mo's chest, and her hands instinctively grabbed Su Mo's clothes at the waist, her face turning an unusual pale.

That one glance made Louise's legs go weak, and it wasn't because Louise was a lovesick fool, although Su Mo's appearance was enough to make these so-called nobles swoon.

But what truly made Louise weak and powerless was Su Mo's simple glance.

That one glance made Louise feel that she was not facing an ordinary person, or even a human being, but some kind of extremely terrifying being.

A giant dragon, or some strange monster from legend?

In that instant, Louise saw Su Mo as someone who was more terrifying than those dangerous creatures.

"Is this how you sign a contract?" Su Mo reached out with one hand, wrapped his arm around Louise's slender waist, and gently lifted her up, causing both of her feet to leave the ground.

The height difference was now made up for, and Su Mo lowered his head and kissed him directly.

"Wait, I haven't turned it on yet..." A thought flashed through Louise's mind, and she immediately became drowsy, her body starting to feel hot.

"This person doesn't seem like an ordinary citizen, does he?"

"This attire is definitely not that of a nobleman. But it doesn't feel like that of a commoner either."

Just moments ago, the onlookers around them were still reveling in the joy of Louise summoning a commoner as her familiar. But now, coming to their senses, they saw two people on the field who were supposedly signing a contract, but were actually doing something that could easily set people on fire.

Everyone suddenly realized that this person, who was considered a commoner, did not have any commoner qualities at all. On the contrary, the feeling he exuded was not just that of a nobleman, but that of a high and mighty royal.

After a long pause, Su Mo released her hand. Louise, her face flushed, was still in a daze, staring blankly at Su Mo: "You...I..."

Signing a contract with a familiar is not something that can be done casually with just a kiss. It should be done through Louise taking the lead in signing a contract with Su Mo.

But Louise couldn't even tell which way was north, south, east, or west just now, so how could she have the mind to sign a contract with Su Mo?

"Is this the contract?"

Su Mo stretched out his left hand and waved it in front of Louise, revealing a somewhat complicated mark on the back of his hand.

"Huh, has it already been signed?" Louise was a little confused.

The Mediterranean teacher next to him also frowned slightly. This familiar was indeed extremely strange, but now that a contract had been signed with Louise, he could rest assured.

After the contract is formed, both the familiar and the mage remain partners forever until the familiar dies, and there is no need to worry about any betrayal.

"Alright, now that everyone has summoned their familiars and formed contracts..." the Mediterranean teacher began, introducing some information about familiars and discussing some magic-related knowledge before announcing the end of get out of class.

Still a little dazed, Louise instinctively headed towards her room, with Su Mo leisurely following behind, occasionally glancing at the surroundings.

The noble students and passing teachers all looked at the unusual master and servant with all sorts of expressions.

Louise Zero, full name Louise François Lou Blanc du La Vallière—a characteristic of this world is that full names are very long. Although Louise is a second-year student at the Christine Academy of Magic and the daughter of Duke Vallière, she can be described as having virtually no talent in magic.

Her only specialty is all kinds of explosions; any magic in her hands will turn into an explosion, making her completely incompatible with the four major magics of wind, water, earth, and fire.

Today, Louise summoned her own familiar, a fellow who appeared to be a commoner. Why "appeared to be"? Because although his attire was strange and resembled that of a commoner, everyone assumed he was one.

But now, the aura and feeling he exudes are something that ordinary people can't possibly possess. The way he casually sweeps his eyes around, the scrutinizing feeling he carries, is something those students have only ever felt from their fathers or grandfathers, or from the heads of their families.

"Hey, I haven't asked you yet... what's your name?"

Louise, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and said to Su Mo. Her arrogant demeanor vanished completely in one sentence.

When facing Su Mo, Louise's lack of confidence wasn't just a matter of being unsure; she was practically devoid of any confidence at all.

“Su Mo,” Su Mo said, “you can also call me Dad.”

“Dad?” Louise repeated, “What do you mean?”

"Indicates a close relationship."

"Who...who wants to have a close relationship with you? You are my familiar, my...pet, pet, understand? From now on, I'll call you Su Mo," Louise retorted angrily.

"That's a real pity." Su Mo said with a relaxed and cheerful expression. "Once we get to know each other better, you can be my dad."

Teasing flat-chested girls is much more interesting than dealing with his masochistic brother.

Chapter 558 Familiarizing Yourself with the Process

The Tristine Magic Academy is a gathering place for many noble children from this small country. A small number of students also study here, from Garmania and Goria.

Since the students are all "rich," their accommodation is naturally extremely good. Each student has their own independent luxury room, decorated with the kind of gorgeous furnishings found in medieval castles.

As the daughter of a duke, Louise's "dormitory" at the school was naturally quite nice, the only drawback being that it only had one bed.

Su Mo's gaze fell on the bed, then shifted to Louise.

"What are you doing?" Louise glared at Su Mo. "I don't want to sleep in the same bed as my pet."

"It's alright, I have a great solution." Su Mo nodded with a smile.

"What method?" Louise asked.

"Oh."

Su Mo gave a strange laugh that sent chills down Louise's spine; she felt that this familiar was extremely dangerous!

A few minutes later, Louise confirmed that her suspicions were correct; this familiar was indeed dangerous.

The guy's solution was to somehow get a bed that was slightly larger than Louise's, and that looked like one of those dog or cat beds, and put it in the room.

Louise was still wondering why such a small bed had been brought, one that someone of her size couldn't possibly sleep in, when Su Mo reached out and lifted Louise up, tossing her onto the "doghouse," and nodded with considerable satisfaction.

"Aaaaah! I am a noblewoman, the daughter of a duke, and you, a mere commoner, my familiar, my pet, are making me sleep here!" Louise was undoubtedly enraged, but unfortunately, her outburst had no effect whatsoever.

Su Mo sat down next to Louise with a lingering expression, reaching out a hand to press on her head, occasionally rubbing it and making Louise's long, pink hair, which was mixed with some gold, a mess.

Each time her hands rubbed, Louise would feel completely weak and sit utterly on her "new bed".

"This is the most suitable place," Su Mo said with a smile. "Look how small it is, I can't even fit myself in here, can I?"

“You should sleep on the floor.” Louise waved her weak arms haphazardly.

"It's too hard." Su Mo shook his head. "It's bad for your health."

"Giving you some straw is the limit," Louise said angrily.

Su Mo objected: "The straw is too prickly."

"Then I'll go find you a room!" Louise said. Anyway, the academy was big enough, and there were many commoners and servants in addition to nobles, so finding a room for Su Mo to stay in was a very easy thing for Louise.

"Shouldn't familiars get closer to their masters to build a bond? We'll be fighting side by side in the future." Su Mo stopped sitting and half-squatted next to Louise, speaking in an undeniably gentle tone.

“Who wants to fight alongside you?” Louise turned her head and said insincerely.

"Oh."

Su Mo chuckled softly, stood up, and walked outside.

"Hey, as a familiar, how dare you leave without your master's permission?" Louise couldn't help but speak as she watched Su Mo prepare to leave.

"Oh, I'm just going out for a stroll and to get familiar with the surroundings. I'll be right back." Su Mo waved his hand without turning his head.

Familiar, Master?

Yes, that was indeed the contract. However, it wasn't Su Mo who became the familiar, but Louise. With Su Mo's abilities, reversing the contract would be incredibly easy. Besides, Louise was in a daze at the time, and without Su Mo's deliberate guidance, she wouldn't have been able to even execute the contract.

As for the mark on the back of Su Mo's hand, it was naturally just to fool the children.

The real mark is on Louise, which Su Mo has hidden, and it will only be revealed when it is activated.

Soon, Su Mo arrived at the square where a group of mages who had just summoned their familiars were competing with each other, boasting about how powerful their familiars were.

These familiars are incredibly diverse, including even tiny pet lizards, making one wonder if they were summoned from the windows of pet shops or specialty pet stores on Earth.

No wonder everyone was laughing at Louise for summoning a commoner as a familiar, but no one thought it was absolutely impossible.

These familiars, large and small, all gathered around their master.

The most eye-catching one was a rather large blue Western dragon. It didn't look particularly ferocious, at least not compared to the abyssal black dragon that Su Mo had seen. In front of those real dragons, this blue dragon could basically be considered a "rag doll".

However, with the support of other familiars, this blue dragon can be considered quite powerful.

After all, besides the dragon, the second familiar that seemed to have some fighting power was a large, crimson lizard. It didn't look fierce at all, but the ball of flame burning behind its tail looked rather interesting.
